Seattle, Omaha, and Harvest!

We had 'harvest' at our house with pumpkins and watermelons!
The watermelon is almost as big as Kingzlee!

She picked out her own outfit!

I had to take this photo on her first day of gymnastics. It is a toddler and Mommy class so I am too busy helping her to get any photos during class

The last weekend in September, we went to Omaha for the River City Roundup, they had great interactive exhibits for kids.....

goats.....
chicks.......
piglets......
and Sheep!!!!
Andrea and Troy joined us for the rodeo. Though Kingzlee stayed at the room with a babysitter, they were still able to say HI before the rodeo.
Our little cowgirl
Miss Skylar, the professional, toddler hair stylist!
She does amazing things with Kingzlee's hair-the most amazing thing is that Kingzlee sits still for Skylar to work her magic!

We went to Seattle for the Nebraska vs Washington football game. We were able to go up to Whidbey Island to see our friend, glass artist, Callahan. Here we are in the back of his studio at a 'beer tasting room'. She was playing with a snail puppet we bought her on the island.
Callahan (with the husker pom pom) and me in front of Callahans Firehouse. When we first walked in to see him, Kingzlee sneezed and had snot running down her nose, then she went potty through her diaper all over his floor! I am sure Callahan was thrilled to meet Kingzlee for the first time!
On the ferry on our way to Whitbey Island-she was not sure what to think of it at first!
Calling Callahan to let him know we were on our way!
Our hotel in Seattle was literally ON the water-beautiful views!
The boat and one of our hostesses after a day on the water and the husker game!
After the game, we cruised for a while on Lake Washington and Lake Union, you can see the space needle in the background.
Kingzlee slept most of the first half of the game, then was awake to enjoy the game. She was taking a photo of the photographer!
Our friends, Chuck and Diane Guildner, joined us for the game. Chuck is an amazing photographer, retired Dr, Sailor, and dear friend. He is originally from Hastings but he and Diane live in Everett, near Seattle, now. We were so excited that we were able to spend the day with them!
The boat ride to the game and all of the excitement prior to the game was just too much-she needed a little snooze!
Whoaaa, those are some crazy Husker fans!

The night before the game we ate at one of our favorite restaurants in Seattle. Towards the end of the night, there was an older couple that kept staring at us. Of course, I thought they wondered why we had a toddler out late, or at a nice restaurant....but, they came up to us and told us that they couldn't believe how well behaved she was the entire night! Made Mommy and Daddy very proud!
Watching the ferry out the window of the restaurant
We arrived in Seattle around 10 pm which was midnight our time. She was a tired little girl-especially since she was much too excited to sleep on the flight!
Packing the day we left for Seattle. She wanted to make sure that all of her big girl undies were packed-even though she isn't really wearing big girl undies on a regular basis!
